Comparison Of Gratitude And The Letter

The description of the mother is honest, reflective, and

The main reason that these stories are alike, are that they relate to women. Whether you are a daughter, or a wife, changes are you can relate to

The boy narrator evolved from being timid to assertive, cowardly to confident, and innocent to worldly because he had to fight the thugs in order to buy the groceries or he wouldn’t be able to come back home. The girl narrator evolved from being timid to assertive, cowardly to confident, and innocent to worldly because she had to become confident in order for her to talk to the boy after he kissed her and she had to face the reality that the she was just the boys’ plaything and he didn’t like/love her back. The authors both tell different stories, but used the same elements to develop their characters: conflict. Change is a part of life and people have to choose to grow from the conflicts that arise or to stay the same and forever

“No human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself. My parents were possessed by the very spirit of kindness and indulgence. We felt that they were not the tyrants to rule our lot according to their caprice, but the agents and creators of all the many delights which we enjoyed. When I mingled with other families I distinctly discerned how peculiarly fortunate my lot was, and gratitude assisted the development of filial love.”

Their differences are from their fathers and royalty. In Aschenputtel, her father favors the stepsisters and he marries a new wife within the next season. When she goes to the ball, she meets the prince and he follows her home, finally finding her. Whereas in Twelve Months, the main character’s father is not included in the story at all. When she comes back, she meets a farmer. The farmer is considered the royal aspect in this tale. Their differences are what makes the story lines completely different, but have the same concept which is, good wins in the end.

The plot of the book and movie follows a similar story line although there are many minor differences. In both the book and movie the protagonist, Jonas, is about to go through some major changes. The Elders of the community are selecting job positions for his class. At the selection ceremony the elders announce each kid’s job positon individually. The elders skip Jonas and move on to the next child. This part of the story is very similar in the book and the movie, Jonas is selected to be “The Receiver of Memories”, his job is to receive all the memories of the past and gain wisdom to help the elders of the community. Some other main plot points that stay the same are Jonas’ training. The Giver transmits memories of things such as color and war and emotions, things that no longer exist in the community. The final major event is very different between the book and the movie. In the book, after learning about much of the past, Jonas’ decides that he needs to leave the community to “Elsewhere” to release the memories back to the community. In the movie, however, Jonas decided to leave the community on a spur of the moment decision with little planning or thought. This is very different from the book where Jonas’ escape was carefully planned out. One thing that is the same about Jonas’ escape is that he takes Gabriel, a baby that is about to be released (Euthanized). The ending of both the book and movie are the same, Jonas leaves the community and finds a house in “Elsewhere”. Neither works give much closure as to what happens, the movie and book leave the reader to decide how the story ends.

One difference both characters have is that the grandmother at the end seems to find spiritual peace. At the beginning, she described the misfit as a bad guy, but the moment she touched him, she connected with him and knew he was a

Such as, they both are from an Indian tribe, specifically they are young kids that are receiving a special thing and/or tradition, to show that they are growing up. Comparatively, they both now have new traditions to keep hold of, and keep them going. Martin needs to keep the medicine bag safe and put a sacred sage into it. Also, Dachina has new responsibilities as an Apache woman. On the other had, the apache tribe is giving Dachina a coming of age ritual. And Martin is being given a Lakota piece of history and he needs to pass that on to his future children. Also, “The Medicine Bag” is being told at the 1st point of view by Martin, and “the Apache girl” is being told in the 3rd point of view by the

The writers also focus on different point in their stories. “Mother Tongue” focuses on the prejudices of Amy and her

When I was five years old, my mom told me that there were some children who didn’t have moms. I was shocked, and told my mother frankly that I’d be their mom. Caring for children with early trauma has been the driving passion of my life. When I was six and again when I was eight, my parents adopted children from Vietnam. Having siblings who were born and orphaned in another country put a very personal face for me on human rights and child welfare issues around the world. I’ve spent the last four years working for the International Foster Care program at Catholic Charities Fort

Megan Stielstra, the author of “Channel B,” deals with her struggles of postpartum depression by stalking her neighbor, who had just recently given birth as well, with a baby monitor. In this aforementioned essay, Stielstra uses despondent word choices to effectively show insight, heartbreak, compassion, and the responsibilities that factor into being a mother for the first time. The reader finds the story more relatable because the author is providing an account of her own experience. She demonstrated to the audience that by obsessing over her neighbor it made her “feel less alone in this crazy world” (250). Hearing the same crying from another new mother validated her feelings of despair. New mothers, who feel alone, are the focus audience

In conclusion, the two speakers have common feelings and morals that have changed as they have aged. The granddaughter who once was her grandmother's secured possession and learned about the faith that her grandmother had taught her changed when she got into the real world. Likewise, the son who never realized that his father worked hard to provide his family comfort changed him as he became more mature, this leads him to realize that he made a mistake by not thanking his father. Overall both of the speaker's morals and feelings change as they grow up and realize the change they are going through and the regrets both have from not being able to tell their loved ones of what they have learned.

There is a difference between appreciating the Blues, and trying to claim it as your own. In The Blues Feel Like Going Home by Martin Sorsese, different musicians discussed who really owns the Blues and what it means to play it. After finishing the film, I believe the Blues belong to no one except the African Americans being oppressed in the 1930’s and 1940’s, trying to escape the ridicule and poor treatment. To try to take the Blues and apply a different meaning, one unrelated to the stuggle of the black people of this time, is to take something that was never meant to be yours. White people playing their own versions of the Blues today is different from the original Blues of the 30’s, because that Blues had

In another way, these two stories are different because the authors have been using different perspective when narrating the story.

In early 1977, the world as I knew it was slowly dissolving. My beloved grandfather became gravely ill, and transgressed to the next realm in August of 1981. This was a very dark difficult period for my family. The happiest days of my life were spent with my grandparents. It became extremely difficult to concentrate and control my emotions during this period. On June 6, 1984, the joy of my life was birthed into this world, my son. His birth signaled a new journey for me, setting a solid foundation for the rest of my life. I was a newly minted wife and mother with different responsibilities for the care and lives of two other people. This foundation helped me to deal with the blow of my grandmother transgressing from brain cancer less than one month after the birth of my son. My
